We asked Michaelonians why they purchased There is a Time.

I purchased the CD when it first came out and have been listening to it ever since. If you don’t have this CD, be sure to get it this Christmas Season. There is something on it for everyone, songs for all ages, and all seasons! One of my favorites is “The Holly She Bears a Berry.” The best thing about it: it’s so easy to sing along to!

I listened to the new CD on the way to work this morning. I sat in the parking lot once I got to work, because I just couldn’t turn it off. It is so awesome! Every Sunday the Choir touches my heart with their beautiful music. I look forward to it so much every week. Now I have my CD and can hear everyone during the week, as well! Thank you so much for all the joy you bring to me and to so many others. (Bob McNerney | Parishioner)

I have two sons, a daughter, and two granddaughters, and music is a huge part of our lives. We love all kinds of music, and we listen to a wide variety of music all the time: from the “Hamilton” soundtrack to Rogers and Hammerstein classics, from Eminem to Ella Fitzgerald, from Beethoven to the Beatles, from classic rock to alternative rock and country. It all goes. We never rule anything out. So it is always a pleasant surprise when one of the boys or a granddaughter requests to hear the CD “There Is a Time” in the car on the way to a practice, game, lesson, or whatever. This CD has something for all age groups and musical tastes. And your children will love hearing it, recognizing the songs sung at liturgies, responding to the spirit and energy of the tunes and texts they hear at Mass. You’ll find yourselves singing along, the recording is top-notch. Help nurture and form your children’s faith life with “There Is a Time.” Play it as you go about your lives, and you’ll also be helping to support the Music Ministry, ensuring that they can continue to provide the musical nourishment you need. Get yourself a CD this weekend, or you can find it online at iTunes, Amazon Music and more. (Tom Kaczmarek | Music Director)
